“Chassity was an amazing sitter for both of my cats! I can tell she has great experience with animals and is very loving to them. We felt very comfortable leaving our boys with her and have already booked her again”
“Liz was really wonderful with my cats! She sent timely updates and I could tell that she really cared and interacted a lot with both. My cats seem to love her and that’s enough for me!”
“We're very grateful to Szu for taking care of our cat Charlie while we were away for a week. She arrived on time every morning to feed him, and she sent us pictures of him and his food/water to let us know how he was doing. I will definitely book with Szu again next time we need someone to take care of him while we're away.”
“Lindsey was a great day sitter! She sent us detailed report each day with many pictures and it helped make us feel less anxious about leaving our two kitties for five days. She went above and beyond, not just feeding them each day but also playing with them using their favorite toys, scooping the litter box every day, changing it once, and even cleaned up a couple hairballs. We could tell that our kitties bonded with her and will miss her now that we're home. Everything we expected in a car sitter and more. We'll definitely use Lindsey again!”
“Sabrina has watched my cat a few times now, and each time I’ve been at ease knowing my cat is in good hands! Sabrina is attentive and very responsive, I would definitely recommend her to watch your pets!”
“Jessica was great and made us feel like our pet was well taken care of while we were away. She did an excellent job making sure our cat didn't want for anything during our absence and gave us peace of mind. Also sent lots of cute photos of them playing, which we appreciated.”
“This is our second time having the pleasure of working with Tracy for our two cats and she truly is the BEST! Tracy goes above and beyond caring for them and communicating with us. I feel so at ease when I know my pets are in her care!”
About: I’ve spent the last 10 years as a dog mom to three very different pups, each of whom taught me something different about caring for dogs. I’ve cared for a disabled dog who required daily hands-on care and mobility assistance, a large senior dog, and a nervous/reactive dog. Because my own dogs had needs that made leaving them with someone else stressful, I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust. I was always the nervous dog mom asking a million questions and worrying while I was away, so my goal is to give other dog parents the peace of mind I always wanted. I’m comfortable with senior dogs, mobility needs, medications, diapers and hygiene care, nervous or anxious pups, and dogs who simply need a little more patience and understanding. These days my home is a little quieter, and I have a lot of dog-mom love with nowhere to go. I’d love to give your pup a safe, comfortable home away from home where they can settle in, be loved, and be treated like one of my own while you’re away. *We also live 5 minutes from the Logan airport - which will make drop off and pick up much easier if you are flying out* I’m a consultant with a flexible schedule and work from home on Mondays and Fridays. Our mornings are pretty flexible, so your pup’s day can start with a walk, breakfast, potty time, and plenty of attention before I begin my day. On the days I do go into work, I plan my schedule around the pups staying with me and aim to never leave them alone for more than 3–4 hours at a time. Whether your dog is used to being crated when home alone or prefers to free roam, I’m happy to follow the routine they’re most comfortable with. My boyfriend, Eric, will be part of their care. He is home after 2 PM Tuesday through Saturday, and I don’t work weekends, so between the two of us there is plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping your pup company. I know every dog is different, so I want their stay with me to feel as close to their normal routine as possible. I’m happy to follow your pup’s feeding, walking, medication, sleeping, and crating routine, including dogs who are more comfortable having their own space. I live in a dog-friendly area of East Boston with the waterfront and beach right behind me, so there are plenty of options for walks and outdoor time. I also understand that a dog-friendly neighborhood isn’t necessarily ideal for every dog. If your pup is reactive, nervous, or uncomfortable around other dogs, I’m comfortable adjusting our walking route and schedule to give them the space they need. I also have a dog stroller available for senior dogs or pups with mobility limitations who still enjoy getting outside. Most importantly, I’ll never force your dog into an environment or interaction they aren’t comfortable with. I want your pup to feel safe here and you to feel comfortable knowing their individual needs are being respected.
“Hang was extremely communicative when coming over to take care of Elliot. Very polite, kind, and made me feel comfortable she was checking in on him. I appreciated her looking out for him, keeping him company and giving his favorite treats. Can't thank her enough! Elliot was so happy and content when I got home 🐱”
About: As an experienced pet-owner and dog walker, I understand the different needs of a variety of dogs. From taking care of my German Shepherds, Pitt/Boxer mix and Jug (Jack Russell Terrier/Pug), I have learned to read the body language of dogs and can cater to their specific needs. As a sitter, I will ensure your dog receives ample attention and exercise, and is comfortable in a new environment. I have experience boarding in the past, and understand the responsibility of having someone’s pet in my care. I will treat your pet as if it’s my own! As a walker, I will adventure with your pooch, giving them the appropriate amount of movement and fresh air they need to stay happy until their parent(s) return. My apartment is pet-friendly and kept clean for optimal safety and comfort. I am currently in between jobs so am very flexible and can cater to your needs. I have a car and can travel as well. I treat all clients homes with respect and am observant of my surroundings. We can go over any ground rules together beforehand to ensure clear communication.
About: Whether it’s my own dog, or my roommate’s two cats, animals are a huge part of my life. Pair that with my love of fitness, and dog walking is a natural favorite of mine. In my full-time work as a speech therapist, I get to take care of little humans, and just know that I’ll bring the same care & attention to your furry children. I work during the school year with children of all ages. During the summer, I hope to spend it with your pets! Spending time with your animals will support my goal of getting outside and helping others all summer long. I live in a walkable neighborhood close to a large park! I ensure that all traffic and safety laws are abided by when traveling with your pet(s). My focus is on maintaining the needs of your animal, while remaining alert about other pets that may be nearby to ensure all are happy and safe.
“Cierra was incredible. My cat has some gut issues and had some small accidents while I was away! Cierra was very communicative and helpful I would definitely recommend her”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience raising and training my own. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, basic commands, routines, and lots of love and attention. I know every dog has their own personality, so I’ll follow your routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I’m used to caring for my 16-year-old dog and taking him out every 1–2 hour, but he is in doggy heaven now. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you know your fur baby is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and know the ins and outs of their social cues. I currently have a great dane and a lab at home, so big dogs are no fear to me! Big or little I will make sure to give them all of my love and care. I am currently a full-time college students, but all of my evenings and mornings are free! On Mondays and Wednesdays I do have a two hour free period to support your pet from 2-4 as needed! My pets at home have a fenced in yard, one enjoys sleeping in her crate and the other enjoys his time on the couch. So however your pet feels most comfortable I will accommodate them! My dogs have set schedules with walks and meal time and I will follow your pets routine as much as they need!
About: I have always grown up with bigger dogs (both lab mixes) so since a young age I have been used to day to day needs and have been relied on by neighbors and friends to take care of their animals when they are unable to. I took care of my roommate’s golden retriever daily especially when he got sick. I also take care of a friend’s Pitbull mix who has a sensitive stomach and a skin condition so this includes medicated baths and special food. I also dont just watch dogs, I recently have been taking care of another friend’s cat when she is traveling. At the end of the day I have such a big place in my heart for animals and hope to tap into that through Rover. My hours are flexible Monday through Friday as well as weekends so I can work with your schedule. I am available for sitting and overnight care at your home. Apartment in the North End that is street level for easy potty breaks and walks. 3 steps into apartment (great for older dogs). Couches and beds for cuddles.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Boston
Jenin was absolutely wonderful with Ursus! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was attentive, reliable, and caring throughout the entire time we were away. She made sure Ursus was well taken care of, kept his water and food in check, cleaned his litter box, and took the time to play with him and give him affection. We especially appreciated the updates and knowing that Ursus was in such good hands while we were traveling. It gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend Jenin to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. We would happily book her again!
Ally was absolutely wonderful! She was super communicative, responsible, and clearly took such great care of our girl. Our cat clearly loves her, which says everything. We felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such good hands and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend Ally to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
Ashley was so great with my kitty! She was so kind and went above and beyond . She was very communicative and kept me in the loop with when she was planning on visiting each day. I felt very at ease during my time away , and came back to a happy and healthy kitty. Would 100% recommend!!
Ashley was fantastic with our two cats, Pepper and Alfie! She was incredibly dependable, always right on time, and great about keeping us in the loop while we were away. She also took some genuinely great photos of the cats — not just the usual quick check-in pictures! It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We’d happily book with her again!
Elizabeth was wonderful with our aging girly. Our cat is older and needs some special attention and care when we’re out of town. Elizabeth was so helpful and went above and beyond for her. She gave detailed updates of her visits along with pictures. All of which gave us much peace of mind that our sweet girl was doing well in our absence.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in East Boston is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
